Caddo Sugar Maple Tree

Caddo Sugar Maple Tree

The Facts

The Caddo maple is one of the easiest maples to grow. Its star-shaped leaves turn under slightly at the edges, and turn a brilliant orange-red in the fall that can be spectacular. Its crown is oval-shaped, with an upright/erect growth habit. This extremely drought-tolerant maple is a great street or shade tree.

‘Caddo’ maples, native to southwestern Oklahoma, are well-adapted to heat and drought, and resistant to leaf tatter and scorch common among many maples. The leaves are dark green, leathery, and deeply loved.
